Ten years have passed since the introduction of a standardized methodology for measuring consumption rates by animals in aquatic environments, known as “squidpops”. Its low-cost, easy-to-implement design made it an alternative for studies aiming to compare consumption rates across different scenarios. The objective of this review is to carry out a critical evaluation of squidpop studies over the past 10 years, examining the de...
Local and Landscape‐Level Environmental Conditions Drive Habitat Selection Across Terrestrial Mammal SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Aim Animal movements are a fundamental process affecting communities and ecosystems. Quantifying habitat selection across species and habitats is key for understanding how animals respond to environmental change. Currently, we lack comparative studies that examine how habitat selection varies across species traits and landscapes. We aim to quantify global patterns of habitat selection to help understand the fundamental drivers...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...

Timing shapes flyway selection in juvenile white storks at the European migratory divideNARA Subscribed
Migratory divides are junctures where populations of the same species following different migratory routes intersect. In white storks ( Ciconia ciconia ), migration strategies differ between the western and eastern flyways, yet the factors influencing flyway selection remain unclear. In this study, we used GPS tracking data from 151 juvenile storks to examine what determines flyway selection of juvenile, first-time migrants. G...
Mapping the landscape of mycological organizations in europe: where citizen science meets professional mycologyNARA Subscribed
Fungi have been used by humans since prehistoric times. Informal structures or groups for knowledge exchange regarding mushrooms and lichens probably existed for ages. Only recently, mycological activities have been structured in formal organizations. And where until a few centuries ago there were only learned societies and naturalists’ clubs, nowadays also mycological societies and citizen scientists have joined the landscape...
Conspecific Adult Dominance Interacts With Microsite Factors to Influence Forest Regeneration Patterns Across ElevationNARA Subscribed
Aim As climate warms, contemporary tree regeneration patterns will affect future forest composition. Yet the factors influencing forest regeneration across environmental gradients remain difficult to disentangle. We studied how conspecific canopy tree dominance (as a proxy for seed availability) interacts with microsite factors along elevational climatic gradients to affect regeneration patterns and recruitment limitations acr...
Between 1989 and 2007, 28 Distinct Population Segments (DPS) of Pacific salmon ( Oncorhynchus spp.) spawning in rivers in California and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, Idaho) were listed (protected) under the US Endangered Species Act (ESA). In the roughly 25 years since then, considerable efforts have been made to recover these populations, but no DPS has increased sufficiently to be delisted. We evaluated abundan...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
Two sides of the coin: Feedback-driven landscape formation results in trade-off between establishment and resilience of marram grassNARA Subscribed
Habitat-modifying plants engineer biogeomorphic landscapes through self-reinforcing interactions with their physical environment, or so-called ‘biogeomorphic feedbacks’. Nevertheless, benefits can vary across a biogeomorphic landscape gradient and between plant-life stages. For instance, European marram grass forms dunes by trapping sediments which triggers plant growth, in turn promoting sediment trapping. Yet, by increasing...
We demonstrate how to use pore-scale modeling combined with high-resolution imaging to make predictions of multiphase flow properties. Experiments were performed on two sandstone samples that were mixed-wet after contact with crude oil: Bentheimer and a reservoir rock. Flow experiments were combined with high-resolution X-ray imaging from which the pore space, fluid configurations and local contact angles can be measured. We f...
Plants host diverse assemblages of fungi on their foliar tissues, both in internal compartments and on exterior surfaces. When plant distributions shift, they can move with their fungal associates (i.e., co‐introduction) or acquire new associates present in the novel environment (host‐jumping). The fungal communities that plants acquire influence a plant's ability to establish and spread in this new environment. Here, we aimed...
